Our Mission

The mission of Canterbury School is to maximize the potential of young people by providing a challenging, enriching, and supportive learning environment in which students build the foundation for a life of purpose, passion, and meaning.

All Inclusive Arts

From age 2 through Grade 12, Canterbury students have every opportunity to experience the arts in a variety of ways. From vocal and instrumental music to drama and dance to visual art and photography, fine arts courses are an important part of the school curriculum.

Every Student Makes the Team

At Canterbury, every student makes the team. The interscholastic sports program encourages individual participation and achievement by giving every student an opportunity to learn and play sports competitively. This policy of inclusion is at the core of Canterbury athletics.

You are a Parent Association Member

Canterbury School offers an exceptional environment where we, as parents, are welcomed to participate in our children’s learning. By doing so, we not only create special relationships with teachers and staff, but are also awarded lasting friendships with other families.

A Community of Philanthropy

As an independent school, we design our own programs and curriculum and operate without reliance on local, state or federal taxes. Canterbury School relies on tuition income, Canterbury Fund contributions, endowment income and other fundraising activities to support our thriving college preparatory environment.

Cavalier Club for Faculty

We are excited to continue our Cavalier Club program for our faculty members throughout the 2018-19 academic year!

This program is designed to meet the child care needs of our Early Childhood and Lower School faculty members when school is not in session. Enrolled Canterbury School students who are 2.5-years-old and above can join their school friends for an exciting day of fun indoor and outdoor games. Parents will need to pack a nut-free lunch and drink for their child on Cavalier Club program days. This program is free to faculty members.
